Brake li ght switches
The brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever,
should come on just before braking
takes effect. Since the brake light
switches are components of the cruise
control system, they must be adjusted
by a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and ex-
perience.
EAU22393
Checkin g the front an d rear
b rake pa ds
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU43432Front brake pad s
The front brake calipers are equipped
with two sets of brake pads.
Each front brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check a brake pad for wear, check
its wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator groove has almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.

EAU22501Rear brake pad s
Check each rear brake pad for damage
and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.EAU40593
Checkin g the brake an d
YCC-S clutch flui d levels
Before riding, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the min-
imum level marks. Check the brake
and YCC-S clutch fluid levels with the
tops of the reservoirs level. Replenish
the brake and YCC-S clutch fluids if
necessary.

TIP

The rear brake fluid reservoir is lo-
cated behind panel C. (See page
6-7.)
 The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is
located behind panel B. (See page
6-7.)
WARNING
EWA16021
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of brakin g a bility or YCC-S
clutch operation. O bserve these
precautions:  Insufficient brake or YCC-S
clutch flui d may allow air to en-
ter the b rake or YCC-S clutch
system, re ducin g brakin g or
YCC-S clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 brake
flui d from a seale d container.
 Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e. 
Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water or dust
d oes not enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch flui d reservoir
when refillin g. Water will si gnifi-
cantly lower the b oiling point of
the flui d an d ma y result in vapor
lock,

an d d irt may clo g the ABS
hy draulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may d amage painte d
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.
The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid res-
ervoir diaphragms will lose their shape
from the negative pressure if the fluid
level goes down too far. Be sure to re-
turn the diaphragms to their original
shape before reinstalling them.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low
YCC-S clutch fluid level may indicate
YCC-S clutch system leakage; there-
fore, be sure to check the YCC-S
clutch system for leakage. If the brake
or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
